Ooh part of me is dying to know about the suspects and the other part of me wonders who has time/mental energy to be a catfish? Did I use that correctly? I don't watch the show.
My super mild FFFC: I told H I would pack for him and instead I'm on TB and online shopping. I probably will do it before he gets home. Unless he comes home early. Then I'm busted.
I'll try to think of an after dark one but my adventures always seem so tame compared to others.
@doxiemoxie212 I've been addicted for close to a year now. Some days it's worse than others. Let me know if you figure out how to deal with it because I'm still clueless lol

@doxiemoxie212@lulu1180 totally addicted too! Ever since I started lurking, even DH has to repeat himself because I am too busy reading something and don't hear him. Oops!
FFFC - DH and I play Pokemon Go. I know, I know......but I can not let him win!
@doxiemoxie212@lulu1180 Yeah, I've quickly developed an addiction over the course of this week. I may have to take a break this weekend...
@kbamomma33 I wish I was a catfish. I'd be crazy, but at least then I'd have a better chance of having a baby.
Ok I've come up with my FFFC!
I keep going back to my hairdresser even though she doesn't do that great of a job (I have long hair and just get long layers cut in it every 4 months or so, so it's not a huge deal). She uses this online booking thing that's really convenient, and I HATE having to call places (another confession - I hate all phone calls except to my mom and BFFs). Also, I went through a tough time a couple of years ago and confided in my hairdresser, and she was fantastic about it, even texting me to check up on me. I really wish that I could switch hairdressers so that I could get a bit better of a cut or try something new, but I'd feel too guilty abandoning her.
ETA: I started going to her when she was fairly new at hairdressing. I keep hoping that her skills will just improve and I don't have to have this dilemma anymore.
@beanship - YUP. You had me at online booking. There's about 4 people that I call. If you aren't one of those people, you will never ever EVER get a phone call from me! That's probably why I'm a really shitty office manager.
Boring FFFC: I hate getting haircuts because I dread talking to the hairdresser. Not because I don't like them or I'm a total bitch (although it comes off that way because I have Resting Bitch Face), but because I'm deaf in one ear and I literally can't hear whatever they are saying to me and I hate explaining that to new people.
@beanship@icecubeinthedesert Add me to the list of hating to call places! If I can order takeout online and pick it up, I will choose that every time over calling in my order!

@msmeeseeks I have that too, but for the love of all that is holy, please call it bitchy resting face, lol. Your bitch face isn't resting; your resting face looks bitchy. hahahaha
ETA: most people I know call it RBF instead of BRF, and this is an ongoing battle for me
@notthefather I actually hate the phrase "lovetit" too, but I try to look past it at this point. When I first came on to TTGP I sort of imagined people shoving their boobs at each other whenever I saw people type it out.
@beanship I do that too. I've been seeing mine for years and I don't think she's that good, but man, do I like that online appointment system and she's nice so I keep going back.
@kbamomma33 et al. It's the effort of catfishing that always weirds me out. I want to avoid them obviously, but a not small part of me feels bad for them because something must be sooooo wrong there to put that kind of time in. Like that is some time consuming hobby. My sister was catfished once on Facebook, but not too bad, and she got it taken down right away. She actually considered it kind of a badge of honor in a weird way.
@becausescience My H and I are guilty of that as well. We also sit around on weekends and basically spend time adoring our dog. Our friends sometimes judge us.

@msmeeseeks I'm with you on not liking chatting with the hairdresser. I really don't like making small talk with people - especially when they are "working" on me. I got a mani/pedi last night - finally - and i just sat there in silence because my manicurist wasn't initiating anything and neither was I. It was soooo awkward.

I always put my lost hair on the shower wall to 'help' prevent it going down the drain when I shower. I always plan on cleaning it up once I get out but I never do and DH always cleans it up. He once told me it looked like Chewbacca came over to shower.
I do this all.the.time. And then forget to clean it. And then my husband complains that somehow my hair ends up in his ass crack
@icecubeinthedesert So our dog is a mutt who is definitely part chihuahua and part rat terrier, but we also think she's part dachshund because she's so LONG. She's brown (and named Rosie), but DH started joking that she looks like a hot dog bun. So we started sometimes referring to her as "the bun" or "Miss Bun", and now she responds to "Bun" or "Miss Bun" as well as "Rosie"
@doxiemoxie212 I've never thought about it like that but now that I have it makes total sense. Cause my resting face does look really bitchy! The other day, a 7 year old told me I looked mean. It used to bother me, but now I embrace it. My mom has it too. Once at a grocery store, a little kid in a cart ahead of her in the checkout line pointed at her and shouted "what is she so mad about, mama?"
@msmeeseeks MH is 100% deaf in one ear too. His was from a virus as a kid, is that how you got yours? He can't ever hear anything if we're in a room with multiple people talking at once, like a restaurant.
@looeeze - I've never gotten a definitive explanation, but yes, most likely caused by a virus in utero. Bars are a nightmare situation for me! Being hard of hearing has made me very anti-social, haha! Every time we go to a restaurant, I have to be like, "No, I have to sit at this corner. You sit over there." I have a Good Ear and a Decorative Ear.

First - glad we're not the only ones borderline ridiculous with our animals.
Second - Yep, this is me too. The one I frequent rhymes with grow and is a hot mess. I get a small joy telling people that the super faint line on their LH test strip does not mean positive. This one person was like "well I think I still ovulated, that's as dark as they get for me. I'm a trainer so I don't get my period." And I wanted to be like "oh honey, if you don't get your period you're not ovulating #science" but decided to just let it be. Many of these women could learn so much from lurking here. *maybe TW* And the stark white preg tests where they think they see something and like 3 other people are like "I see it too." My heart breaks a little for them bc I know they just want to be KU, like all of us, but... it just isn't positive. *end*

I don't think I've ever been accused of catfishing but I know some people did think I was a secret BG because I was on here so long while TTA. So @izza2 you must be a secret mod for sure.
Just wanted to jump in here (a little late) and say I was the hair stylist who didn't like chatting with the clients! I'm an introvert and having to talk to people I barely knew, while touching them, made me feel very nervous all day long. I'm not sure what ever possessed me to try it as a career, but it clearly wasn't right for me. Now I'm getting my certificate for medical coding/reimbursement so I can sit in a cozy little cube and keep to myself.

@msmeeseeks Yeah we also have a seating policy. It ends up working for us because his right ear is the good one and I'm left-handed so him sitting to my right just feels right. We met in a bar and he was on my left side trying to chat me up so hard but he couldn't hear anything so he just kept turning his head and saying "sorry?" and I kept thinking what is this dude's deal? Do you end up telling people a lot that you're deaf in that ear? He does, but I don't think people understand that the surrounding noise really fucks with his ability to tune in.
@looeeze - I feel so understood right now! Haha! My right ear is my Good Ear. People used to try and say something discreetly in my left ear, and I would have to turn my head and say "WHAT?" hahaha oops! Yes, I frequently have to explain. A lot of people in college thought that I was really mean and rude when they first met me because of the combo of Bitchy Resting Face (thanks @doxiemoxie212!) and not hearing people say hello to me when I walked in the theatre green room because the couches were to the left. It's hard to explain to people that the most difficult thing about single side deafness is the inability to localize sound. I cringe when I hear someone call my name out on the sidewalk, because I would have to stop walking and turn around in circles until I see a familiar face. And noisy restaurants/bars are the worst, not because of the level of noise, but because I can't pick out the person talking to me! I hear everything and nothing at the same time!
@msmeeseeks Aww that's a double whammy! I'm sorry. When MH first moved here (we dated long distance for a bit), he got asked by some people if he wanted to play laser tag. I was like uhhh dude you're really bad at Marco Polo, I don't think laser tag is going to be any better. And I was right, he got destroyed. I often have to listen for both of us and then tell him what someone else said, or where someone is speaking from.
Every once in a while when I'm feeling especially bratty, I'll yell for him to "come here!" when I'm in another room and when he says "where are you?" I say "follow the sound of my voice," and when he gets close (but doesn't know it) I jump out and scare him.
@msmeeseeks - Uhm. Do you live in Vegas? because that's Vegas? I lived there for a year and I was TERRIFIED to move over more than one lane. Two if I was driving really far.
And also, I'm sorry. I am a slow driver. I just am never stressed about getting anywhere. I normally leave way too early anyway, and I just enjoy the drive. but I do make sure I don't drive in the passing lane. But yeah, I am regularly under or at speed limit. I am also that annoying one that leave an entire car length between me and the car in front of me at a red light. But listen, if someone rear ends you, and you rear end the guy in front of you, YOU are at fault for the guy in front of you. And also, I stop a bit before the line at a red light when I am the first there because I have seen an accident where the guy was rear ended and pushed into the intersection and then hit by a semi. So no. Flame me for that, IDGAF.
And same to.... whoever said benefit of the doubt. I always assume people have tons of food and drinks in their car for their family and that's why they drive slow and turn really slowly. It's annoying, but when I pick up food I am the same way, so eh.
RE: catfish. Yeahhhh I'm totes a catfish. FYI. Except I don't even know what to do. Do people catfish for information? or jsut to be horrible? I dunno. But who got time for dat?

@kbamomma33 - I actually think this about other drivers, too. I very rarely get angry while driving. @becausescience - THAT is exactly why I don't like mani/pedis!! @msmeeseeks, @looeze - I don't have a deaf ear, but I had a lot of ear problems growing up and I feel like my brain never learned to locate sounds. I SUCK at having conversations where there's a lot of ambient noise (bars, restaurants, etc). I do a lot of nodding and smiling.
Not going to lie, this catfish game graduating thing is going to keep me up tonight reading through all the BMBs!

First - glad we're not the only ones borderline ridiculous with our animals.
Second - Yep, this is me too. The one I frequent rhymes with grow and is a hot mess. I get a small joy telling people that the super faint line on their LH test strip does not mean positive. This one person was like "well I think I still ovulated, that's as dark as they get for me. I'm a trainer so I don't get my period." And I wanted to be like "oh honey, if you don't get your period you're not ovulating #science" but decided to just let it be. Many of these women could learn so much from lurking here. *maybe TW* And the stark white preg tests where they think they see something and like 3 other people are like "I see it too." My heart breaks a little for them bc I know they just want to be KU, like all of us, but... it just isn't positive. *end*

July 2017 Siggy Challenge- Animals Eating Summer Foods
Every once in a while when I'm feeling especially bratty, I'll yell for him to "come here!" when I'm in another room and when he says "where are you?" I say "follow the sound of my voice," and when he gets close (but doesn't know it) I jump out and scare him.
And also, I'm sorry. I am a slow driver. I just am never stressed about getting anywhere. I normally leave way too early anyway, and I just enjoy the drive. but I do make sure I don't drive in the passing lane. But yeah, I am regularly under or at speed limit. I am also that annoying one that leave an entire car length between me and the car in front of me at a red light. But listen, if someone rear ends you, and you rear end the guy in front of you, YOU are at fault for the guy in front of you. And also, I stop a bit before the line at a red light when I am the first there because I have seen an accident where the guy was rear ended and pushed into the intersection and then hit by a semi. So no. Flame me for that, IDGAF.
And same to.... whoever said benefit of the doubt. I always assume people have tons of food and drinks in their car for their family and that's why they drive slow and turn really slowly. It's annoying, but when I pick up food I am the same way, so eh.
RE: catfish. Yeahhhh I'm totes a catfish. FYI. Except I don't even know what to do. Do people catfish for information? or jsut to be horrible? I dunno. But who got time for dat?

@becausescience - THAT is exactly why I don't like mani/pedis!!
@msmeeseeks, @looeze - I don't have a deaf ear, but I had a lot of ear problems growing up and I feel like my brain never learned to locate sounds. I SUCK at having conversations where there's a lot of ambient noise (bars, restaurants, etc). I do a lot of nodding and smiling.
Not going to lie, this catfish game graduating thing is going to keep me up tonight reading through all the BMBs!
Edited to change "dead" to "deaf."
